Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machining apparatus. More particularly this invention concerns such an apparatus with the ability to work along the Y-axis.
  • a machining apparatus for machining rotationally driven workpieces with Y-axis movement are known in the prior art.
  • US 2010/0202847 shows a machining apparatus having a vertical main spindle, tool turret, and a hobber.
  • the machining units are mounted on the front vertical wall of the machine frame.
  • the tool turret and the hobber can be moved vertically and horizontally on a compound slide.
  • the hobbing spindle includes a swivel axis (B axis) and a shift axis, and can furthermore be moved in a third axis (Y axis).
  • Guides in the direction of the Y axis are mounted in front of the vertical wall of the machine frame. This necessarily results in a relatively large distance between the rotation axes and the frame wall, which distance negatively affects the flow of power and machine rigidity.
  • Another object is the provision of such an improved y-axis machining apparatus that overcomes the above-given disadvantages, in particular that has a compact design and improved machine rigidity.
  • An apparatus for machining a workpiece with a tool has according to the invention a columnar housing having an upright front face and a pair of upright and parallel side walls extending horizontally rearward from the front face, a carriage movable at least vertically on the front face carries a first holder for the workpiece or the tool.
  • a U-shaped frame is juxtaposed with the housing front face has two rigid arms each extending rearward adjacent the housing side walls with interfitting guides between each of the arms and the respective side wall enabling horizontal movement of the frame toward and away from the front face.
  • a second holder on the frame and in front of the front wall holds the tool or the workpiece and is engageable with the workpiece or the tool, respectively, in the first holder.
  • a U-shaped slide that is movable in the direction of the Y axis of the machine coordinate system is movably guided along guide rails on the two arms of the U-shaped frame on parallel mutually opposing side walls of the machine housing.
  • the driving forces for positioning the slide are introduced symmetrically through the two arms.
  • a vertical slide for a motor spindle is mounted in the top section on the front wall of the machine housing.
  • the machining apparatus can also operate on the pick-up principle.
  • a motor spindle with a clamping chuck for workpieces is movable horizontally (X axis) in suspended fashion. The motor spindle moves to a pick-up or placement position for loading and unloading.
  • Rotary-driven tools for hobbing, grinding, milling, or honing are provided on the slide (Y axis).
  • the high degree of machine rigidity means that the machining apparatus is especially well suited for precision machining operations such as grinding or honing. However, it can also be advantageously used for precise hobbing operations.
  • the workpiece spindle is mounted stationarily on the slide and can move in the Y axis, while the motor spindle can be moved in suspended fashion on the vertical slide from the machining position to the workpiece changing position in order to pick up tools.
  • FIG. 1 is a front view of a machining apparatus for hobbing
  • FIG. 2 is a section taken along plane II-II of FIG. 1 through the machining apparatus.
  • FIG. 3 shows the machining apparatus with a stationary workpiece spindle.
  • a machining apparatus 1 has a square-section columnar housing 2 with a planar and vertical front wall 3 formed with a central hole 32 ( FIG. 2 ) and a pair of parallel and vertical side walls 19 and 19 ′ extending rearward perpendicularly from the front wall 3 .
  • a pair of horizontally spaced and guide rails 4 extending parallel to a vertical Z-axis carry a cantilevered carriage plate 5 that can be moved vertically by a motor 6 fixed atop the housing 2 and connected via a ball spindle 7 to the carriage 5 to raise and lower it on the front wall 3 parallel to the Z-axis.
  • a holder or headstock 9 rides on vertically spaced rails 8 extending parallel to a horizontal X-axis and fixed to the front face of the carriage plate 5 .
  • This carriage plate 5 is cantilevered laterally above a workpiece conveyor 17 that can move unmachined workpieces 15 into and out of a station 12 .
  • workpieces 15 can be picked up by a holder or chuck 14 carried by the headstock 9 and moved horizontally parallel to the X-axis into a machining station 18 located centrally in front of the front wall 3 between the rails 4 , and later finished workpieces 15 can be off by the chuck 14 in the station 12 and carried off.
  • a motor 13 can rotate the chuck 14 and any workpiece 15 in it about a vertical axis 36 .
  • a massive U-shaped (seen from above) frame 20 has a pair of full-height arms 29 and 29 ′ juxtaposed with the side walls 19 and 19 ′ and each provided with shoes 33 riding on horizontal upper and lower rails 21 and 21 ′ provided on the side walls 19 and 19 ′.
  • the rails 21 and 21 ′ extend horizontally parallel to a Y-axis perpendicular to the X- and Z-axes.
  • a pair of synchronous drives 26 and 26 ′ are connected by ball spindles 35 and 35 ′ ( FIG. 2 ) to the arms 29 and 29 ′ of the U-shaped frame 20 to move it horizontally forward and back, parallel to the Y-axis.
  • the situation could be reversed with the rails 21 and 21 ′ on the frame 20 and the shoes 30 on the housing 2 .
  • the tool 16 engages one of the workpieces 15 in the machining station 18 as is well known in the art.
  • a support 34 is pivotal by a motor 31 ( FIG. 2 ) in the housing cavity 32 perpendicular to the axis 36 on the planar and vertical front face 3 of the frame 20 about a horizontal axis 27 , the so-called C-axis, perpendicular to the face 3 and parallel to the Y-axis.
  • This plate 34 acts as a holder carrying a tool 16 rotatable by a drive 30 about an axis 37 and also shiftable by the drive 30 in a direction 28 , the so-called B-axis, parallel to this axis 37 as is well known for hobbing.
  • FIG. 3 shows a hand-loaded version of the machine 1 where a workpiece holder 22 is fixed to the frame 20 and the holder 9 is used to hold one of the tools 16 to machine it, here shown drilling an axially centered hole in the held workpiece.
  • a turret 24 is provided in a tool station 23 carrying a plurality of tools 16 and located in the position of the loading/unloading station 12 of FIGS. 1 and 2 .
